Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere (BBC broadcast)

I rented it out a couple of days ago and it was quite good. It was pretty nice to see a production of one of his stories. If anyone's read the book, you'll be pleased to hear that Mr. Croupe and Mr. Vandemar were pretty disgusting. Any one else seen it?

I saw it, but didn't care for it. My understanding was that Mr. Gaiman himself wasn't too thrilled with the end result, and that's what inspired him to do the Novel version (it was a BBC min-series first). To me, the novel is incredible, while the series was so-so.

By the way, have you read any of Neil's other books? I highly recommend American Gods and Coraline!
